#232 Rudy Reyes, Warrior mindset & Operational readiness
Rodolfo "Rudy" Reyes is an American conservationist, martial arts instructor, actor, and former active duty United States Marine. He is best known for portraying himself in the TV series SAS Who Dares Wins & Generation Kill.
In 1998, Reyes joined the United States Marine Corps and was ultimately selected for (and passed) Marine Recon training. He served in Afghanistan and took part in the Iraq war. Reyes served on the USS Dubuque and often led platoon PT sessions on ship. During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Reyes was a team leader within the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, which became the tip of the spear as the 1st Marine Division advanced on Baghdad; journalist Evan Wright embedded within Reyes' platoon and later wrote Generation Kill, a book depicting the events of the invasion from the perspective of the Recon Marines.
